The 4 Cs: Clouds, Cloud Computing, Circle. Over this past weekend I watched Cloud Computing (the horse) run an exciting race and win the Preakness by a nose as a longshot. I was fortunate to have bet him a bit. On Sunday I went and saw a movie THE CIRCLE about how lives can be controlled by social media and social media companies. Today I look out my office window and see white floating clouds in the desert sky. What do you think my favorite is?
Well THE CIRCLE wasn’t a bad movie with Emma Watson and Tom Hanks. It exemplifies how social media now almost controls our lives and our politics. While fiction, it didn’t seem too farfetched to me. I liked it and I would recommend it. Cloud Computing which the movie involves also was much more exciting as the living embodiment in horse flesh winning the Preakness. Cloud Computing and his exciting run to victory was much better than the movie THE CIRCLE. Still, outside my window today the white floating clouds are by far the best of the three.
Let’s find a few quotes to reinforce the above:
“The blood runs hot in a thoroughbred and the courage runs deep.
In the best of them pride is limitless.
This is their heritage and they carry it like a banner.
What they have they use.”
~~C W Anderson
“Are not the mountains, waves, and skies, a part of me and my soul, as I of them.”
~~Lord Byron
“There is only one Lord of the Ring,
only one who can bend it to his will.
And he does not share power.”
~~Character Gandalf
(J R R Tolkien)
“The goal of social media is to turn customers into your personal evangelist.”
~~Shane Barker
I believe enough words have been added by me to THE CIRCLE.
